I Remember When...
Lost Bird takes us back to when things were simpler and we never had to pay bills and a washed up movie actors were president, you never had to wear socks, mullets rocked, and you never left home without folding your pantlegs...
I remember when...
-your first car could be bought with $50. It was a 1970 Gran Torino, brown and rusty. No exhaust, just straight out of the manifold.
-gas prices skyrocketed to .78 cents a gallon and I was delivering pizza bitching and moaning because that kind of price hike would use up my tip money.
-cell phones came with a brief case-sized battery and the receiver was the size of your head and only rich people had 'em.
-The quarter arcades. No blood no guts, just a yellow guy who ran the gauntlet to eat ghosts.
-MTV had music videos.
-getting an autograph from a professional athlete was free.
-Cassette tapes were the wave of the future.
-TV was free.
-Being called on to turn the filmstrip projector in class was "cool" (actually I don't remember that, it just makes me feel better).
Join us again when Lost Bird clears out more cobwebs in his memory warehouse and shares another exciting colomn in "I Remember When..."
